Hunters urged to watch for signs of missing people during firearm season
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety is asking hunters to stay alert for signs of missing people during the firearm opener, according to KSTP. The department’s Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives Office said hunters often explore remote areas that others rarely visit, offering a chance to spot potential evidence.
“Families across Minnesota are waiting for answers,” Ana Negrete, community planner with the office, was quoted as saying. “Even the smallest of clues can bring closure and healing to a family who has carried the pain of an empty seat at the dinner table for far too long.”
Officials advised hunters not to touch any items or remains they find, to photograph them if possible, mark the location and report it to law enforcement.
